Hello Marek,

Thanks for the report.

Please read
  
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Present-But-Cannot-Be-Compiled.html

and then show that to the maintainer of the Haskell package, who can
fix this in his package.  The error becomes clearer if you look at the
part of the config.log file that deals with this compile failure (and
maybe also some Cygwin documentation).

FWIW, these may or may not be followup errors; I don't know.
